Ah, the weathervane. Traditionally known for predicting
weather on barns, churches and homes, since the 1800's, these iconic pieces of
art are now being used as interior design elements. Think a cow on the kitchen
table instead of flowers. Use a rooster on the mantle in place of that painting
of Great Aunt Matilda. Try the dresser, the hallway, even the bathroom. New
England Weathervane Shop has the largest collection of working antique
weathervane molds in the country. From historic to custom, traditional to
modern, our 100% copper weathervanes are crafted by hand, the old fashioned
way: First hammered into molds, hand trimmed and soldered. So, if you're
looking for a new piece of art, think outside the cupola!

I found these beautiful and classic weathervanes featured in
New England Home Magazine. They are the product of New England Weathervane
CO. They may be contacted by either;

Hope you are enjoying your summer thus far! Today let's talk about one of my favorite items: mirrors for the home. Not that we are vain and like to look at ourselves, but I find decorative mirrors have always made a great statement in room design. One of my faves is a company called Carvers Guild. These wonderful mirrors are made in the United States and are available through interior designers. They are simply unique and a matter of fact, I have used them in my own home, and my client's as well. These hand made gilded mirrors are great for any space. For a recent design project a Carvers Guild mirror was the added touch in a powder room!

With that said, hang a fabulous mirror in your home and, oh by the way, being a little "design vain" is a good thing!!

This post is about my favorite room to decorate, the dining room! It is the
room in the home where family gathers for holidays or just for an informal
dinner. When designing client's dining areas I really like it to be informal not
over done or too fussy. It shouldn't feel like a place that is unused in every
day life. If you feel like making it more formal take out your fine china and
silver.

I personally have china that I use every day. Having a dining room that never
gets used is a wasted space, so put out some nice china, silverware and informal
table linens and invite some family and friends over for dinner! Oh,
don't forget candles!

Happy decorating!
With all the best,
Robin
